Land of Dreams

Land of Dreams is a 1988 album by Randy Newman full of vignettes of his childhood in New Orleans. The most well-known song on the album is "It's Money That Matters", which rose to the top of the Mainstream Rock chart for two weeks, to become Newman's only number one hit on any U.S. chart. Prior to the album's release, the song Something Special would be chosen to become the closing title music for the 1987 MGM production Overboard starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, and the piano bridge from the song "Dixie Flyer" would subsequently often be utilized as break or filler music on public radio and public television.
